New member Username: GeorgekaPost Number: 8 Registered: Dec-11 | yes when the engine is running and all the cables are connected as usual, just the blue light doesnt show and the music doesnt play but it gets a reading of 5volts when the connnect to the amp but when i test the wire not touching the amp i get 12v. maybe my conections from the wires the amp are not good but they seemed to work before |

Gold Member Username: Joe1234Post Number: 1294 Registered: May-09 | It's normal that the amp won't turn on with 5 Volts, if you had 5 volts on the battery, the car wouldn't start either. Redo all connections : chassis to ground, check the fuse and fuse holder and the connecton to the battery.. exchange anything that looks abnormal. If the amp is not blowing fuses you should get 12 V or so at it's terminals either way. |
